window.FirebasePlugin.grantPermission(); not prompting on ios

[aaronorosen]

I'm not getting prompted for notifications permissions when this method is called. Any ideas? why not. I'm testing on the actual device.

window.FirebasePlugin.getToken(function(token) { alert(token) }); <-- this is working though.

code:

document.addEventListener("deviceready", init, false); function init() { window.FirebasePlugin.grantPermission(); window.FirebasePlugin.getToken(function(token) { console.log(token); }); }

I have the GoogleService-Info.plist in platforms/ios//Resources

any ideas?

I believe grantPermission has been failing for me recently too, users aren't getting asked to approve pushes.

do you get to deviceready at all? in the code you pasted init is undefined when you bind it

[aaronorosen]

sorry that was a typo on my edit pasting example code. Yes init is called.

[aaronorosen]

I even tried the 0.1.17 and 0.1.16 code and it wasn't working there either. I wonder if it's ios10 related?

[achuinard]

I think it stopped working with iOS 10. I've had users who granted it on iOS9, but new iOS10 users aren't being prompted at all.

[aaronorosen]

Looks like like there is some special casing used in grantPermission() here if it's ios 10 - https://github.com/arnesson/cordova-plugin-firebase/blob/master/src/ios/FirebasePlugin.m#L70 I'm not knowledgeable though about apple's api's and object c though :(

[achuinard]

I've been looking at this for a minute, the only thing I could think of is follows. Will need input from @robertarnesson

The FirebasePlugin.m is where grantPermission executes - https://github.com/arnesson/cordova-plugin-firebase/blob/master/src/ios/FirebasePlugin.m

You'll notice there are 2 special lines for iOS 10+ permissions - [[UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter] setDelegate:self]; [[FIRMessaging messaging] setRemoteMessageDelegate:self];

However, 'self' is not the AppDelegate, and I think those methods want to be pointed towards the AppDelegate - see https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-ios/blob/master/messaging/FCM/AppDelegate.m

Could this be the reason?

[guyromb]

Any updates on this?

[robertarnesson]

@achuinard yes you might be right about this. i'll attempt some testing...

[robertarnesson]

possibly related to #74. have you tried this with a production certificate?

[aaronorosen]

Maybe that was the issue. I'm able to get this working now on iOS 10+ now.

[achuinard]

@robertarnesson What about pointing to the delegate though? I'm still confused what the solution is here. Do I just need to re-create certificates through iTunes Connect?

[hebaothman]

+1 it is not working on ios 10 so could you please share what's your solution i have uploaded it to test flight but not working too @aaronorosen @robertarnesson

Thanks in advance

[achuinard]

It is working on iOS 10. You have to make sure you are on the latest version of Xcode and are building the app with the iOS 10 SDK.

[aaronorosen]

I think it might have been a combination of getting the latest x-code that made it start working for me. I'm not completely sure though it's working on my end now following the example in readme.

[MattDHill]

I can only get this to work on the first attempt. Meaning, if the user denies remote notifications, I cannot get the prompt to show again. Is there a way to force the prompt to show again at a later time, say, if the user decides to enable notifications later from within the app preferences?

[LufoX11]

I'm using XCode 8.2 (last one for my OSX version). Did someone make it work? I'm using Ionic 2 BTW.

[aaronorosen]

@MattDHill I don't believe so. In that case the user needs to go into the app settings and manually enable notifications.

Using the plugin I'm noticing that if I call the function as well as you see without calling the grantpermission () function the message is sent but I do not see any notification here is the code

`document.addEventListener('deviceready', onDeviceReady, false);

function onDeviceReady() { $('#console').append('START'); setTimeout(getTheToken, 1000); }

function getTheToken() { window.FirebasePlugin.getToken(function(token) { if (token == null) { console.log("null token"); setTimeout(getTheToken, 1000); } else { //window.FirebasePlugin.grantPermission(); $('#console').append('token: ' + token); console.log("I got the token: " + token); } }, function (error) { $('#consoleerr').append('error retrieving token: ' + error); } ); } ` server {"multicast_id":7649446427278374045,"success":1,"failure":0,"canonical_ids":0,"results":[{"message_id":"0:1494347311775201%812d9b5d812d9b5d"}]}

If I lose the grantPermission () function, the server returns me

`{"multicast_id":6314053970229096456,"success":0,"failure":1,"canonical_ids":0,"results":[{"error":"InvalidApnsCredential"}]} my device is ipad mini 10.3.1

As can be solved?

[aaronorosen]

Here's the code i'm using and it seems to work if helpful:

function setupPush() {
    if(!(isApp())) {
        return;
    }
    window.FirebasePlugin.grantPermission();
    window.FirebasePlugin.getToken(function(token) {
    // Tell backend token 
    }, function(error) {
        console.error(error);
    });
    window.FirebasePlugin.onNotificationOpen(function(notification) {

        show_push_notification(notification);
    }, function(error) {
        console.error(error);
    });
}

Thank you thank you but you work with ios which version? Do the notifications arrive? Do we place a demo project so that everyone can try it? what do you think about it?

[aaronorosen]

it seems to work for all versions for me.

[eros2187]

Does the download file firebase inside the project be placed on www or on platfom / ios? I put them either inside the root of the project where there are all the folders should i just believe it !?
